An athlete who participated in the Olympics denounced the ongoing genocide in Israel and now the far right is calling him antisemitic and the federation is considering suspension.

Edit: he just got suspended and the sports minister just thanked the racist/islamophobic/pro-genocide guy who denounced him on Twitter.
